Naoki meant remounding which is a Japanese style of potting neofinetias using spaghum spun round the roots of the neofinetia and made into a compact ball and then placed in a small pot, which I think you can see from the picture Naoki has posted.

I think most of the odd ones are slow growers. Is yours still a single growth plant?

I divided(took out the older growth/main growth) my shunkyuden in 2008 for a trade and my plant had not been the same for two years. It has five growths now but it was a slow come-back. (btw, I grow my shunkyuden on stick mount and it looks quite neat.)
